									<p>The renewed brand was introduced internally at the <strong>Merima Experience Day</strong>. We looked at where Merima came from, what is changing around us, what we want to carry forward and where we need to raise our ambition. Equally important was giving people room to react, ask questions and discuss openly. The Merima Experience cannot be created by a brand project and handed to an organisation as a finished answer. It becomes real through the people who create it every day.</p>								</div>

									<p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><b>Merima Oy is investing in the future and operational efficiency by building a dedicated logistics centre and office at a new maritime industry business park near the Turku shipyard.</b></span></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Blue Industry Park is Europe&#8217;s leading maritime and manufacturing industry cluster, taking shape on the Turku shipyard site. The area brings together pioneers from their respective fields, with access to first-class logistics connections.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>&#8220;Turku is an important hub for us, from which we serve customers around the world. Our new 4,000-square-metre facilities will improve our efficiency and further strengthen long-term collaboration with local and international operators in the Turku region,&#8221; says Merima CEO <b>Mikko Mäkiranta</b>.</p>
<p></p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<h3>Logistics and seamless workflows at the heart of the new space</h3>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>Merima is a family-owned company with nearly 40 years of experience and an internationally recognised expert on demanding full-scope maritime projects. The company delivers high-quality newbuild and refurbishment projects for cruise vessels globally, with a focus on the most demanding and complex assignments. Smooth logistics and efficient working days are essential to how Merima operates.</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --></p>
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>&#8220;This move strengthens our ability to serve our customers at an even higher level and creates the conditions for sustainable growth. Our own ways of working and processes need to be in order because we support our clients across the full project lifecycle, from the earliest sketches right through to the final finishing touches, and we also provide ongoing support. The new facilities are being designed to make it easy for people to connect and work even more efficiently”, says Mäkiranta.</p>

									<p>Once her internship came to an end, Merima offered Kaisa the opportunity to join full-time as a Project Coordinator. A few months later, she was given the chance to support a project on-site in Japan for a couple of weeks, handling invoices and processing working visas. Those two weeks turned into 18 months.</p><p>During her time in Nagasaki, Kaisa completed two major projects with Mitsubishi. <em>“Even though the working culture was vastly different, the support from my colleagues made it easier to navigate. I even picked up a bit of Japanese – though I’ve forgotten most of it now!</em></p><p>From Japan, Kaisa moved to Germany, where she started getting deeply involved in the project teams, managing purchasing, working directly with suppliers, spending more time on-site, and joining sea trials on the vessels Merima built. “Those two years in Papenburg were intense – we worked quite long days, but it was incredibly rewarding. It felt like we were part of something tangible and exciting, and the team was amazing!”</p><p>Kaisa is currently a Project Controller at Merima, focusing on overseeing project financials, including cost tracking, margin analysis, and regular reviews with project teams. She also handles all sales invoicing and uses her on-site experience to guide and support teams, ensuring collaboration between finance and project execution.</p>								</div>

									<h3>Culture and support: The Merima Way<br /><br /></h3><p>Speaking of why Kaisa has spent a decade of her career at Merima, she adds: <em>“One of the things I’ve always appreciated about Merima is the culture. There’s no strict hierarchy—if you need something, you can reach out to anyone, even the CEO.”</em></p><p><em>“We also focus heavily on collaboration. Finance teams at other companies might stay in the background, but at Merima, we actively work with project teams to find ways to make their lives easier. This approach led to a special moment last year when I was voted <strong>Employee of the Year</strong>. It’s rare for someone with a background in finance to win that award, but it felt great to know that my colleagues valued the support I provide.”</em></p><p><em>“If you’re considering a career at Merima, my advice is simple: Do it! You’ll have the support you need to succeed, work with fantastic colleagues, and tackle exciting, challenging projects. You’ll also have opportunities to grow—both professionally and personally.</em>”</p><p>Outside of work, Kaisa is passionate about sports and enjoys spending time with her family. She played basketball for 14 years and recently started CrossFit.</p>								</div>

									<p>Central to Mein Schiff 7 is its three-story, 2,500 m² theatre, equipped with state-of-the-art stage technology and acoustics that evoke a concert hall experience. With extensive experience developing theatres for previous Mein Schiff vessels, Merima was well-prepared to deliver another first-rate venue that promises unforgettable entertainment for guests from around the world.</p>
<p>Additionally, Merima developed the Schaubühne auditorium, an intimate 150-seat venue located on the Starfish deck. This area hosts a variety of performances, from stand-up comedy to magic shows and acrobatics, enhancing the ship’s entertainment options with unique, smaller-scale events.</p>
<p>Despite significant challenges during the installation process, Merima&#8217;s world-class Project Managers successfully delivered a flawless space on time and within budget.</p>								</div>

									<p>The ambitious 4,000 m² outdoor deck seamlessly blends sports, leisure, and entertainment. Designed as a multipurpose space, it includes areas for basketball, open-air movie screenings, and a spectator stand for live events. Merima’s design provides a vibrant mix of active and relaxing experiences for guests to enjoy.</p>
<p>A standout feature of the outdoor deck is the expansive children’s area, divided into four tailored sections to suit different age groups. Each section is equipped with age-appropriate, tailored materials, safety features, and engaging designs to ensure children have a fun and immersive experience.</p>
<p>The deck also features four large drink and grill bars, each manufactured in-house at Merima’s production facility. Integrated into aluminium and steel canopies, these bars provide shaded areas where guests can unwind and dine, adding a refined touch to the deck’s overall atmosphere.</p>
<p>On the upper deck, Merima was also responsible for smaller areas like the Teens and Game lounges, designed to further enhance the ship’s family-friendly appeal.</p>								</div>

									<p>A large portion of the materials used throughout the ship were produced in-house at Merima’s factories, complemented by our extensive network of partners and suppliers who provided innovative solutions to complex challenges. This collaborative approach proved highly effective, enabling us to deliver everything on time and to the highest standards.</p>
<p>The outdoor areas faced unpredictable weather, including a sudden snowstorm that brought 30cm of snow onto the deck as late as April. This added pressure to an already tight deadline. Yet, the team remained undeterred and we’re immensely proud to contribute to the creation of this remarkable ship and can’t wait for people to experience it just as we envisioned!</p>								</div>

									<p>The AquaDome is one of Icon of the Seas&#8217; eight unique neighborhoods, boasting 220-degree ocean views, restaurants, and the one-of-a-kind Aqua Theater. Upon entering the shimmering AquaDome, perched at the top of the new Icon of the Seas, you&#8217;re immersed in a whole world of sensory discoveries – from athletes doing superhuman stunts in front of a shapeshifting waterfall to dining, coffee and cocktail options designed to tingle every taste bud. The lounge elevates your ocean views to new heights and lets you relax in luxury.</p>
<p>Merima is immensely proud of this showstopping area – to get it across the finish line meant that we had to be creative, solution-oriented, and develop techniques that had never been done before in shipbuilding. Many of the surfaces and materials were unconventional and required many creative solutions. Despite this, our team came up with all the right solutions and put huge smiles on our customers&#8217; faces, and we&#8217;re pretty proud of the final result!</p>								</div>

									<p>The Icon of the Seas is the home to the world&#8217;s largest water park at sea, with six slides on board. There&#8217;s an open free-fall slide, a 46-foot drop slide, family raft slides, and a pair of mat-racing slides. Having six slides on board is pretty unheard of, and we&#8217;re super proud to be part of this groundbreaking achievement.</p>
<p>To achieve this great result, we needed to implement a lot of tailored solutions, including the stair towers to enter the waterslides, all of the water park graphics and colors, wooden slats, and more! Selecting the right materials to meet the strict quality requirements and weather conditions while also matching the milieu wishes of the client was a massive challenge. Still, now everyone can safely say it was a major success!</p>								</div>

									<p>Many of the materials we used in the whole ship were made in-house at Merima&#8217;s factories, while we also relied on our extensive partner and supplier networks to provide creative solutions for challenging situations. This was a winning combination; everything was delivered on time and with absolute satisfaction. We&#8217;re so proud to be a part of this historic ship&#8217;s development, and we&#8217;re so excited for people to enjoy it the way we intended!</p>								</div>

									Spacious, relaxing public spaces provide wide open, unobstructed views throughout the ship. We built areas such as the mud room, library, laboratory, hair salon, hospital, staircases, main restaurant, observation lounge, club, gym, treatment room as well as the spa and sauna. Light, natural tones and wooden details were used in the interior. Special Merima features were Barrisol ceilings and decorative ceiling beams in main restaurant and mudroom. They were customized and manufactured in-house by Merima. We provided all the background installations hidden behind the walls and ceilings, including electrical work, ventilation, plumbing and insulation. We also supplied all hinged and sliding doors for the areas.								</div>
